AEW Fight Forever secret challenges that players can unlock are Owen Hart, Paul Wight, Cody Rhodes, Aubrey Edwards and Brodie Lee.

The challenges are not easily noticeable and demand players to accomplish specific objectives for their activation.

Besides the secret challenges, the famous wrestling game also has a bunch of other astonishing surprises, easter eggs, and hidden treats. You can find these unique features by exploring the game and accomplishing different tasks.

One such thing is that there are over 40 weapons available under the ring or within the crowd, but there are also additional weapons that can be accessed when playing as a champion.

Players can also use their championship belts as weapons, and unlike other weapons, the belts remain at ringside for the entire match.

Moreover, there exists a hidden weapon customization feature that enables players to alter their weapons with various decals, including wrestler images and patterns.

The AEW Fight Forever game boasts a talented roster of AEW wrestlers, however, some of them seem to be inaccessible as the game purposely hides them from easy access. This includes notable names such as Owen Hart, Paul Wight, and Brodie Lee.

In the game, an In-Game Store offers Unlockables and Purchasable items. Players must use AEW Cash to make purchases, which can be earned by playing matches in any Game Mode, including the Road To Elite mode.

Cody Rhodes, also known as "the American Nightmare," is the only wrestler who appears in both AEW Fight Forever and the WWE 2K23 roster. To access and use him in the game, you must go to the store and spend 10,000 AEW dollars to unlock him.

Similar to Rhodes, you can locate All Elite Wrestling referee Aubrey Edwards in the shop. It appears that Aubrey costs twice the AEW credits than Cody's and is priced at 20,000 game coins for purchase.

Meanwhile, in order to unlock the iconic Owen Hart, players must complete 100 exhibition matches. All types of matches counts except for the three, Minigames, training, and story mode games.

If you want to earn Hart quickly, play matches on easy settings. Owen Hart will become available in the in-game shop when you meet this requirement. You can buy him by spending 50,000 credits.

However, some wrestlers like Brodie Lee and Paul Wight become accessible only after you unlock them in the Road To Elite story mode.

To have access to Brodie, Dark Order leader, you need to beat him for the TNT championship in Road to Elite mode. In Block 2B, "Join the Dark Order," you will face Lee in the final battle. Once you achieve victory, you can acquire Brodie Lee from the in-game store for 30,000 credits.

Finally, the hardest to get, legendary wrestler Paul Wight aka The Big Show can be unlocked after completing the entire Road to Elite story mode. Wight can be unlocked when you defeat him only by pinning in under 3 minutes.

On the contrary, you need to do something different to gain entry to the Paul Wight story. Instead of winning matches, you have to purposely lose every match until you reach the final chapter called "Who's Ribbing Me?"

AEW Fight Forever How to Unlock Minigames

To unlock minigames you have to complete Road To Elite mode. A new minigame will pop up in the in-game shop for purchase.

You have to look for the minigames once you have finished playing RTE mode and then choose the minigame option after buying. This will allow you to access and enjoy the minigames.

However, according to a Reddit post, it is random. You unlock one minigame every playthrough of Road to Elite after your first. For example, after finishing the second playthrough, the user unlocked Shida’s Slugfest, and after the third playthrough, they unlocked Steal the Show.

But there are also complaints that some players did not receive any mini-games even after Road To Elite playthrough.

  • Block 4C - Who’s Ribbing Me? (Unlock Paul Wight)

You begin the career mode with the selected wrestler, or you can also use your custom-made wrestler. In Road to Elite, every wrestler starts their journey in the same way.

They enter the Casino Battle Royale, where the outcome determines their path. Winning the battle will lead them to story block 1B, where they compete for the title of the first AEW Champion.

Losing the battle will take them to block 1A, where they form unexpected partnerships. Female wrestlers have an additional opportunity to enter story block 1C and contend for the Women's Championship.

Then in the 2nd block, your avatar will have a feud with Chris Jericho and The Inner Circle in 2A. In the 2B storyline, you have a chance to unlock Brodie Lee. But first, you have to beat him for the TNT title.

Similarly, the 3A beings with "Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch" against Kenny Omega or Jon Moxley, which unlocks option "Historic" in the shop under "More Items."

There is also an opportunity to become the top contender for the AEW World Championship. Additionally, they have the chance to join forces with another wrestler and create a tag team. These events unfold separately in the 3B and 3C plotlines.

The Road To Elite Story mode ends with your character taking revenge on Paul Wight in the final chapter. However, there is a catch. You have to suffer defeat in every game until you reach 4C, "Who's Ribbing Me?" to set a fight against Wight.
